The Power of Storytelling in Fundraising
How Narrative Drives Nonprofit Growth
Behind every thriving nonprofit is a compelling story—one that moves people to give, volunteer, and advocate. Storytelling isn’t just a nice touch in fundraising— it’s the heart of connection. When donors understand the “why” behind your work and the real lives it impacts, they’re far more likely to support your mission long-term.
At this quarter’s Sunday Social, we’ll explore how storytelling plays a pivotal role in a nonprofit’s success. Our featured presenter, Dr. Susan Nichols, brings over 30 years of nonprofit experience and a deep understanding of how mission-driven narratives can shape strategy, funding, and sustainability. As founder of Connecting Communities Consulting, Dr. Nichols has helped
hundreds of nonprofit leaders shift from reactive messaging to purposeful storytelling rooted in vision, service, and community impact.
During our event, themed “From Vision to Victory: Navigating Start-Up Success,” Dr. Nichols will share how to move beyond surface-level messaging and tell stories that inspire action—from funders, stakeholders, and the very communities you serve. You’ll learn how storytelling connects to systems building, leadership development, and long-term donor engagement. Whether your nonprofit is just launching or ready to scale, this is your opportunity to refine your story and reframe your strategy.
